Billionaire Elon Musk commented Friday that he intends to remove social media platform X's 'block' function in the future, saying it does not 'make sense.'
said Friday that he plans to end the "block" function on social media platform X.
X, formerly known as Twitter, currently offers a standard block function that allows users to restrict others' ability to comment on their posts — but that function may come to an end soon. "Block is going to be deleted as a 'feature,' except for [direct messages]," Musk said Friday. "It makes no sense."
Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla and owner of X, gestures as he attends the Viva Technology conference dedicated to innovation and startups at the Porte de Versailles exhibition centre in Paris. "You will still be able to mute accounts and block users for [direct messages]," Musk clarified via a comment in a separate thread.
